Those who consider buying a piano today, are entitled to the highest standards available. First, sound is of the most importance, as music is, above all, a listening experience. Second, a piano’s visual appearance determines its overall beauty and sound. Pianos should harmonise with one’s environment and lifestyle.
These are the standards to which we build pianos so that our ambition and success is justified. Pianos by SAUTER are pleasing because of their sparkling sound, fine playing-experience, and high expressiveness. Additionally, they are an inspiration because of their first class appearance and perfect workmanship. Listen and see for yourself!

Sauter – designed by Peter Maly
The piano created for today´s living concepts. This conveys Peter Maly*, internationally recognised designer for interiors who dealt with the subject `piano´ exclusively for SAUTER. Maly´s understanding of design is marked by original forms combined with the utmost functionality as well as perfection in manufacturing. Many of his designs are already recognised as modern classics.
SAUTER pianos designed by Peter Maly largely match the SAUTER Master Class pianos, with respect to their technique: the sounding board, 25% bigger, is characterised by the unique “SAUTER Spherical Concavity®” and the speciality of SAUTER, the double repetition action of grand pianos (for more detailed information please refer to page 16). Here, as well, the sounding board is solely made from the finest spruce from the `Val di Fiemme´ in the high region of South Tyrol, grown at an altitude of
1,100 meters. For a better playing sensation, half tones (sharps and flats) are made of ebony. The cast plate is hand-ground and complemented with a precious finish. Experienced pianists, whose piano is in focus at their home, will be thrilled by the touch and appearance of this design piano..

VITREA - The new transparent piano. Satined dark oak. 48.5"
Exciting mix of materials.
Vitrea´s essence is the contrast between the cool glass front and the warm wooden tones of the main structure of the piano.
The modern-day architectural glass features outstanding in our major cities have inspired the idea of glass fronts - straight, clear, transparent: that is Vitrea.
Vitrea is particularly well suited to rooms with expansive windows flooded in light, beautiful wooden flooring and contemporary furnishing. The predominant aesthetic feature structuring Vitrea´s shape is its dark-bright contrast.
Vitrea´s materials: the front panels consist of matt glass, available in two shades. The form is bordered by thin chromium rail strips. Body, Lid and keyboard elements are made of oak wood. Here you have the choice of a light natural tone of timber or of a deep dark-stained variation. All metal parts are chrome-plated.
The design is accentuated by details such as: Vitrea is supported on chrome-plated steel feet. The lids open upward in aliform, like wings, and, therefore, optimally project the sound waves throughout the room.
Rondo – elegance softly shaped, a piano that performs with the principle of round shapes.
Rondo – elegance softly shaped, a piano that performs with the principle of round shapes. It appears natural, soft and well balanced within itself. Like a piece of music that surrounds an inspiration: Rondo.
The inspiration of Rondo is consistent and relaxes: Smart appearance, soft and rounded in detail, gently refined in its materials and colours.
PURE "less is more". "PURE noble"is available in polished black, polished cayenne red, polished white, polished black / zebrano, polished black / walnut.
"PURE basic" is available in matt white / maple, matt black / walnut or matt white. 50""
PURE "less is more"- as little as possible, as much as necessary
PURE "less is more"- as little as possible, as much as necessary. The aim was archetypal, reduction to the essential. Nothing superfluous, but full of concentration; stillness and tension at the same time - just like before a big concert: PURE 2000, the purist upright piano. Purism is the art of avoiding the superfluous. The form radiates peace which inspires both soul and player.
Pure 2000 is like the room for which it was designed. It is an upright which fits into a bright living environment with simple walls and modern art. The essence of its aesthetics is the generous design which emphasizes the surfaces.
In the "PURE 2000 noble" version, the surfaces have a gloss lacquer finish. The characteristic corner details are emphasized by flush-fitting chromium-plated metal sections giving this upright its modern elegance.
Details accentuate the essential design. A fine finger groove makes the upright easy to open.
ONDA, the piano in its elemental form is the quintessence of minimalist design. Satin maple, satin beech. 49""
The body and keyboard form a solid backdrop for the focal point of the piano - an undulating panel. Yet although Onda is essentially of simple construction, it also has something of the grand piano about it.
Onda is the ideal complement to the new minimalist look. A spacious room scattered with a few functional accessories and items of furniture provides the perfect setting for the piano's simple yet stylish lines.
Materials which are typical of this look include light wood, cool metal and fabrics in natural snades.
Onda is constructed from a number of distinct, clearly demarcated components. Broad wooden side panels enclose the piano body, lending it stability and substance. The keyboard - made from light beech or maple wood like the sides - is set into the undulating panel.
The panel which forms the front of the piano has a horizontal "wave" running through it - hence the name Onda, which means wave.
As a special design feature, Onda is fitted with two top panels which can be opened upwards like wings. As well as forming a highly effective sound board, they lend the instrument the feel of a grand piano.
To round off the picture, Onda stands on curved metal feet
IMAGO, the Avant-Garde pianois a fascinating new creation which redefines the concept of the piano. Satin Maple / white, Satin Pear / light grey, Satin Pear / marine blue, Satin Beech / black. 62""
A great design, extravagant and classic - the sound pattern for a new age.
Imago is at home in the most ultra-modern surroundings: Dominant here are contemporary, functionally designed furniture, but also modern classic such as the seating by Le Corbusier. The materials are a combination of light wood tones - modish pear, maple of beech; bright colour finishes and cool metal.
A large, diagonal-grain pear wood panel frames the body of the piano like a passpartout, forming an exciting contrast between the two silk-sheen finish, different shapes and their materials. An attractive extra:
The Touch-Tronic lamps by Ingo Maurer are switched on and off or dimmed by a simply touch.
The designer's signature along with individual serials numbering underline the unique of value of the piano. The piano body has a light grey.
ARTES - The Art-Deco piano is inspired by the styles of the Twenties and Thirties. Polished black, polished white. 48""
Despite these historical allusions the piano embodies a timeless elegance and understatement.
Artes blends effortlessly into this room, whose interior finishings embody design of a timeless quality. Materials such as fine leather, quality woods and valuable textiles are in perfect harmony with the highly polished finish of the piano.
Characteristic features of the Art Deco style: clearly defined lines, metal inlay and chromed metal brackets. These details lend depth and structure to the body with its glossy black finish.
The designer`s signature along with individual serial numbering underline the unique value of the piano.
Matching piano stool with leather seats and metal legs
CURA, the Shaker piano s inspired by the puritan and perfectly crafted furniture typical of the American Shaker religious movement of the 18th Century. Satin-finish cherry wood. 53""
The ideal setting for the Cura is characterised by natural materials: by woods such as linen or cotton, along with terracotta and woollen carpets.
"I stand in great admiration of the wonderfully simple cherry-wood furniture of the Shakers, for it form a link with my modern design concept, imbued as it is with the desire for the greatest possible simplicity - whilst at the same time ensuring the highest quality of materials and manufacture." Peter Maly
Cura has a classically-constructed frame and infull panels veneered in cherry. Cura has hand-turned brackets of cherry-wood, and feet and hinged candle holders in matt-finish high-grade steel. The lid is shaped into a single elegant sweep.
The beautiful waxes finish to the piano emphasises its natural character.
